Minnesota PrOhibS Adopt Plans for the Next
Campaign.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Nov. 22.-About
two hundred people attended the state
prohibition convention to-day. Plans
for the next campaign were adopted.
The report of the committee on resolu-
tions was in the nature of an address to
the people. The resolutions declare vot-
ing is duty and neutrality a political
crime. The evils of the liquor
traffic have reached a magnitude that
threatens the foundations of the govern
ment. Tho corrupt use of money to con-
troll the Legislature is the gravest problem
in the history of the country. The
saloon has entered both parties, repub
licans and democrats, and now rules them
both. High license and local option are
declared failures. The entire prohibition
of the saloons is the principle sound in
law and ethics, and the prohibition
party pledges its cooperation and infiu-
ence in the prosecution of all measures
needful for the protection of the home
from the drink curse. The resolutions
endorse the Interstate law, labor and
farmers organizations and the temper
ance work of the Knights of Labor.
There is also a clause favoripg the reduc-
tion of tariff on the necessaries.

Annual Meeting at oxford Bright Scores
Gladstone and the Rebel Party.
LONDON, Nov. 22.-The annual meeting
of the Union Conservatives opened at
Oxford to-day. A thousand delegates
were present. A resolution in favor of
free trade was carried by large major
ity. A resolution in favor of reform in
the English church was adopted unani-
mously. A letter WAS read from Mr..
Bright referring to his proposal TO
send the Irish bills to grand CON mittee
composed OF the Irish members. In the
letter Bright says: "The rebel party will
not accept the proposal because they are
rebels, and with a rebel Irish member in
the house of commons the plan would
not be allowed to work. Gladstone
is committed to the hobby in
which the rebel leaders for
time have agreed to join him,
and cannot condescend to consider
plan less pretentious but more reason
able than his. Nothing can be done un-
til the Gladstone bills had been entirely
gotten rid of and the position is wholly
changed. We cannot allow Gladstone to
return to the Office on his Irish policy.
| prefer TO join hands with Lord Sails
bury and his colleagues rather than with
Pernell and his friends, the leaders of re-
bellIou."

A Pass Agreement.

At the request of Chairman j. W
Midgley meeting of the general mana
gers of the Western lines was held at
Chicago to prepare pass agreement for
1888. This is the season of the year
when the railways prepare their annual
passes, and a conference is therefore
desirable. Fourteen lines were repre-
sented, and e. st. John, of the Rock Is
land Road, was made chairman of the
meeting. 1t was agreed to issue passes
to employees only, and to grant neither
State nor interstate passes during 1888
with view of Influencing freight or pas
senger traffic. Mr.J W. Midgley was
elected to enforcethis agreement, and lines
not represented were notified of the
action taken and requested to join in the
agreement.

England's Established Church

The English Church receives in tithes
about S20,0o0,O 900 a year. Of this amount
$5,000,0o0 is expended in hospitals,
schools, church buildings, ETC., and the
remaining $15,o00,000 goes to pay the
salaries of the clergy. In the last meet
ing of the English Church Congress it
was stated that the fate of the Establish.
ed Church depended en- the clergy. If
during the next ten years they showed
by their devot on to their duty that the
people of England could not afford to
dispense with their services the question
of disestablishme ent would be indefinitely
pOstpOned.

a CURIOUS proposal to settle the fisher
les dispute has suddenly attracted atten-
ton both here and in England. It ap-
pears that Edward Atkinson dropped the
remark at dinner in England, few
weeks ago, that the United States might
buy New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince
Edwards lsland.a Cape Breton. The
share of these provinces in the Domin-
ion debt is about S5O,000,O 900 on the basis
of population. and this was the price
suggested by Mr.. Atkinson. It was only
a few weeks ago that leading Canadian
papers were agitating in favor of a
sc heme to secure the annexation to the
Dominion of the northern part of Main e !;
and we fancy, Sir John Macdonald would
favor the latter idea rather than the form
or. 1t would be dangerous precedent
for Canada to sell territory, as it would
be premium upon annexation agita-
tion III other parts of Canada. The mari
time provinces would soon be prosper
Gus if admitted as territories or states,
and Manitoba would be sure to become a
candidate for annexation. 1t is, there.
fore, safe to deny the report that the
Atkinson plan is received with favor in
Canada.

MERCHANTg in the East and merchants
IN the West are at loggerheads over a case
that is to be argued before the interstate
commerce commission December IS.
Those in the East demand that fractions
of carloads of merchandise shall be car
ried at the same rates as full carloads,
which is not now the case. Those in the
West are deluging the commission with
protests against this demand holding
that the difference between carload lots
and less than carload lots is founded
In mercantile "justice and usage" The
reason for this clash is found in the fact
that if the small shippers of New York
for example, are allowed by the railroads
to send small lots of freight through to
the West at the same rates granted TO
large shippers, the retail traders of the
West will suffer. In that case tho New
York merchants could in many instances
supply western consumers without the
Intervention of the middlemer. The
hearing is looked forward to with great
interest.
